Tips:

Use a light touch when coating the chicken. Pressing too hard will result in a thick, uneven coating that won't adhere well to the chicken.
If you're using a wet batter, make sure to let the excess batter drip off before frying. This will help prevent the coating from becoming too thick and greasy.
Fry the chicken in batches so that the oil doesn't get overcrowded. This will help ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and doesn't stick together.
Don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the chicken will cook unevenly.
Use a thermometer to make sure the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

There are many different ways to coat fried chicken, and the best method depends on your personal preferences. Whether you prefer a light and crispy coating or a thick and flavorful one, there's a recipe out there that will satisfy your craving.
